A little about me and my needles
I'm a self-taught artist and creative force, bringing my playful, hands-on approach to a wide range of projects - from crafting whimsical costumes for the iconic NYC Halloween Parade to creating props and pieces for film, television, and music videos.
something about me
Have you ever wanted to learn to knit, make your own clothes, or craft something beautiful with your hands? I'd love to show you how. It's never too late to start.
My work often lives at the intersection of art and interaction - with immersive installations, pop-up experiences, and joyful collaborations that invite people to connect. My independent projects are rooted in a simple but powerful mission to bring people unexpected joy.
I love teaching, and delight in helping others build practical, beautiful skills — whether it's knitting your first scarf, adding a piece to your own wardrobe, or sewing a stylish, high-quality bag from scratch.
My workshops are welcoming, empowering, and filled with good energy 🤩

Joy bombs? Unusual art? Unexpected delight?
It seems like every time I put something fun into the world, someone reaches out and asks for more!
Here's some of the weird designs and collaborations I've released into the wild over the years, in my bananastandoriginals portfolio.

Having lived all over the world, I could not be happier to call Fitzroy and Collingwood home. I can't wait to share my passion with you!
